2007 FALL BROODSTOCK ATLANTIC STOCKING

DEP will begin its annual stocking of surplus broodstock Atlantic salmon next week.
Approximately 500 surplus broodstock Atlantic salmon (110 from DEP’s Kensington Hatchery and
400 from the White River National Fish Hatchery in Vermont) are scheduled to be released next
week. These fish will range in size from 3 to 15 pounds each.

Each year, surplus broodstock Atlantic salmon are stocked into the Naugatuck and Shetucket Rivers.
However, flows in these two rivers are currently too low due to the ongoing drought. As it is not
possible to hold these salmon at the hatchery until water levels improve (holding these fish at the
hatchery would interfere with and endanger salmon spawning operations that are currently
underway), next week’s salmon may instead be released into several lakes & ponds.

Additional rainfall is predicted for this week, but, should flows in the Naugatuck and Shetucket
Rivers not increase to levels considered sufficient by DEP biologists, next week’s salmon will instead
be released into Beach Pond, Crystal Lake, Mt Tom Pond, Tyler Lake and Squantz Pond. Regulations
for the broodstock salmon would be the same as for trout in these water bodies except for the daily
creel limit, which will be one salmon per day. Staff will assess stream flows prior to making a final
determination.
